scam VARDIS KEEP WELL AWAY
In November I started advertising on yell.com.
A week later, I received a call from Vardis offering me discounted advertising in a magazine produced for the foresters fund for children. At £90 for a year’s advertising, I thought it a good idea, (would cost me that a month in local newspapers).
I was informed that the magazine would be delivered to businesses and homes all over Lancashire, and that i would be given 6 copies once published. I agreed to the deal at the time, thinking that Foresters fund for children would be getting the larger percentage of my fee. They also told me that payment would be due no earlier than three months after the publishing of the magazine.
I tried contacting them at the beginning of June, as the draft advert they sent me, had several errors. It took eight days to get hold of them.
I have since received one copy of the magazine, and 9 letters invoicing me for £90+vat, (no vat registration number on the invoice). I have done some checking over the last couple of months, but noone I have spoken to has ever heard of Vardis, or foresters fund for children. Today I received a message from yell.com, informing me that I am not the only business they have approached, and they advise contact with either trading standards, or the police, should they have any problems with vardis or crown debt collection.
also i found this on a blogger.com
cdr This is the same company as Vardis. Crown Debt Recovery only recover owed to Vardis; although the debts themselves are very debatable.
Ignore the fancy letterhead. It is the same people working from the same place!
Do NOT send any money to these people if you don't believe you agreed to a contract with Vardis.
CDR This is not a real company. It is merely a name and letterhad used by Vardis to chase their 'debts' from their unsolicited invoices.
Do not be fooled by their letterhead with PO Box No an '0871' phone number. It comes from the same office address as Vardis, and the exact same people.
IGNORE ANYTHING RECEIVED FROM "CROWN DEBT RECOVERY".
i was had by them and payed £415 for the advert and printing cost and fees...because i thought i was Going to court and didnt want bad credit so please dont be fooled like me....:mad2:
